1 . Well, here I am in Jakarta (雅加达), Indonesia (印度尼西亚)! We arrived a few weeks ago and we’ll stay for two years, so I’ll have lots of time to write about my experiences — but here’s my first post (帖子).
Jakarta! I love the place! It’s wonderfully warm and for me, warm weather is always good news! It gets wet sometimes and you may feel uncomfortable, but I’m already used to that. At this time of year, it rains every day for about an hour. Sometimes it rains really hard! But when it stops, you get the wonderful smell of grass and clean roads after summer rain. This is quite similar (相似的) to my hometown in England.
However, some things are different. Number 1 is the traffic! They say that 10 million cars go onto the streets every day — very different from our little English town. In the morning, it can take an hour to drive five kilometers (公里)! I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it. What’s great here are the people; they smile and they are warm, polite and friendly. They’re easy to get on with. Then, the food there it’s quite delicious.
Here is what I like most: what people do when they meet an older person. The older person puts their hand out and the younger person takes it and puts it on their own head. It shows respect (尊重). I think it’s wonderful.
Well, that’s all for today. More in a week or two.
Best wishes from Nancy!

2 . One day a poor farmer was taking a bag of rice to town. Suddenly the bag fell off his horse on the road. He didn’t know what to do about it because it was too heavy for him to carry it by himself. He only hoped that somebody would soon pass by and help him.
Just at this moment a man riding a horse came up to him. But the farmer was very disappointed (失望) when he saw who he was. It was a great man living nearby (附近). The farmer had hoped to ask another farmer or a poor man like him.
But to his surprise, the great man got off his horse as soon as he came near. He said to the farmer, “I see you need help, friend. How good it is that I’m here just at the right time.” Then he took one end of the bag, the farmer took the other. They together carried and put it on the horse.
“Sir,” asked the farmer, “how can I pay you? ”
“It’s quite easy,” the great man answered with a smile, “wherever you see anyone else in trouble (有困难) do the same for him.”

3 . I like dogs very much. I think they are very clever and they can do many things for people. I have a little dog. His name is Jim. He is my best friend. Every morning, Jim goes to the store in the neighborhood (附近，邻里). The shop assistant (店员) in the store gives him two things: a sweet (糖果) and a newspaper. Jim eats the sweet and takes the newspaper in his mouth. Then he runs home.
